664: Chapter 665: As Expected 664: Chapter 665: As Expected Last night, when Shen Yueru thought about the autumn outfit designs drawn by Ye Qiu, she couldn’t sleep at all, worried that they would be stolen by soone.
Unexpectedly, just as she arrived at the company today, she heard so news.
Qingcheng Group held a press conference to reveal their latest autumn lingerie designs.
Without Yueru needing to look, other Xingyue Group employees went to see, took pictures, and brought them back.
One look, and it was exactly the lingerie design for the autumn outfit that Ye Qiu drew yesterday afternoon.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye it would beco Qingcheng Group’s own latest lingerie design.
There was no need to say, Qingcheng Group had already registered it with the patent office, and it was now protected by the nation and the law.
If Yueru wanted to say anything else, it was likely already useless.
Thinking about this made her feel infuriated.
Out of the thirty-four designers, as well as Ye Qiu, Yueru herself, and the secretary Liu Xiaoli, Yueru knew that it was impossible for herself, Ye Qiu, or secretary Liu Xiaoli to leak the information.
So, the problem must lie within those thirty-four designers.
“Yueru, this is sothing we anticipated, no need to rush,”
Ye Qiu said calmly.
However, Ye Qiu had not anticipated that the mole would be so greedy.
The design had only just co out, and they had already stolen it and sold it directly to Qingcheng Group.
“What anticipated event?”
Shen Yueru was even more confused.
“Let’s talk when I get there.”
Shen Yueru sat angrily in her own CEO office, her mood had been very good for the day, but now, because of this incident, her good mood for the entire day was gone.
As the saying goes, “Guard by day and guard by night, but the thief at ho is hardest to fight.”
She hadn’t expected that after hiring these designers with high salaries, they would betray her so quickly; their greed was insatiable.
In Yueru’s eyes, it was entirely possible that the leak ca from the four designers Ye Qiu hired yesterday.
But Yueru knew she had no evidence, and she couldn’t simply slander others based on a hunch.
She could only wait for Ye Qiu to arrive and discuss further.
“Xiaoli, imdiately notify those thirty-four designers to co to the eting room,”
Shen Yueru said to Liu Xiaoli.
“Yes, President Shen,”
Secretary Liu had not expected that the stunning autumn lingerie design that Ye Qiu had only just drawn up yesterday afternoon would beco Qingcheng Group’s latest design overnight; it was obvious there was a mole among them.
Secretary Liu personally went down to the two design departnts to call all the designers up.
Except for Liu Xueying and a few other female designers who did not speak up, other designers were trembling with fear.
Just yesterday, Ye Qiu had said that the design must be kept confidential; they had not expected to hear that it had been leaked right after arriving at work today.
Liu Xueying knew her own integrity and professional ethics, she would never engage in such a thing, not even if she was beaten to death.
Moreover, such an act was a legal offense, and if caught, one would definitely face legal punishnt.
As Liu Xueying and the other designers headed upstairs, Secretary Liu did not see Li Yingjun and Liu Die.
When Secretary Liu called Li Yingjun, he said he was already on his way.
When they arrived at the eting room, these designers, including the four new ones, were also trembling and looking extrely scared.
Being under suspicion could an trouble getting out of the police station should they end up there.
When Secretary Liu returned to the CEO’s office, Shen Yueru asked, “Has everyone arrived?”
“Li Yingjun and Liu Die are still missing, but I just called, and they are already on their way,” Liu replied.
Last night, Liu Die went to the Departnt of Stomatology to treat an oral ulcer, received an IV at the hospital, and fell asleep after taking her dication.
She woke up only when Secretary Liu called her, reminding her that she had to co to work today.
Normally, under such circumstances, she would have taken the day off to rest.
But hearing that a major incident had happened at the company, Liu Die had no choice but to get up.
Ye Qiu drove to Xingyue Group’s underground parking lot, took the elevator up, and entered the CEO’s office, where he saw Shen Yueru pacing anxiously back and forth.
Seeing Ye Qiu arrive with a relaxed look on his face, Yueru said, “With things like this, you’re still in the mood.
Should we call the police now and let them handle it?”
“What issue?”
Ye Qiu asked.
“The theft of the design drawings.”
“It’s useless, a waste of police resources.
Find the mole first,”
Ye Qiu stated.
“Then what do you suggest we do?”
“I will find the mole for you.”
“Even if we find them, the loss this ti is significant,”
Shen Yueru said worriedly.
Last ti, because of the leak of two sumr lingerie designs, Qingcheng Group managed to register them in advance and then produce and launch them in the market.
They are still extrely popular, and I heard they even sold out.
Now, with more than a dozen autumn lingerie designs stolen, if Qingcheng Group were to produce all of them, the loss to Xingyue Group would indeed be substantial.
As for the mole, Shen Yueru knew it was only a matter of ti before they would be uncovered.
If not found, she felt disgusted, as if a chicken bone were stuck in her throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.
“Yueru, don’t worry, I always think things through when I act,”
Ye Qiu stated.
“Really?”
Although Ye Qiu had already told her so of it yesterday, Shen Yueru still felt confused and had no idea what Ye Qiu was planning to do.
After sitting for a while, Secretary Liu ca back and said, “The eting room is ready, thirty-four designers have all arrived.”
Ye Qiu and Shen Yueru thus headed towards the eting room.
The sa designers as yesterday were there, including the four new ones Ye Qiu had recruited.
However, they now looked at each other, their expressions complex.
So were calm, so angry, so scared, so nervous, and so at a loss.
But looking over, Shen Yueru saw what seed to be innocent expressions on their faces.
Ye Qiu glanced at the designers and said, “I ntioned yesterday that everyone could look at the designs, but I didn’t expect them to be leaked and sold to Qingcheng Group so soon.”
Ye Qiu’s tone was very cold.
“As a matter of conscience and professional ethics, I, Liu Xueying, swear this wasn’t my doing,”
Liu Xueying quickly said.
Yet, his tone still seed effeminate, but he wasn’t afraid because he knew he wasn’t guilty of such acts.
“President Shen, Mr.
Ye, I didn’t do it either.”
…
Other designers began to speak up one after another.
“I already have an idea of who did it.
Originally, when the two sumr lingerie designs were leaked, it was hard to pinpoint the culprit since many designers were involved, and I hadn’t seen everyone’s sketches.
But over the past couple of days, I have begun to recognize the sketches of who plagiarized the designs,”
At that mont, Shen Yueru, Secretary Liu, and even Liu Xueying realized that Ye Qiu had already identified the sketches.
And on reflection, it seed obvious.
With Ye Qiu’s exceptional design talent and drawing skills, how could he not recognize the imitated sketches from the counterfeited versions?
Hearing Ye Qiu say this, not only did Liu Xueying breathe a sigh of relief, but most other designers did too, as they knew their own drawing style was completely different from the plagiarized sketches.
